HC Deb 22 November 1803 vol 1 c13

The House met this day, pursuant to his Majesty's proclamation, for the dispatch of public business. About three o'clock the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod appeared within the bar, and delivered a message from the Lords, desiring the attendance of the House in the House of Peers to hear the speech from the Throne. The Speaker, accompanied by the members present, accordingly attended, in obedience to his Majesty's command. On their return, the Speaker took the chair, and acquainted the House, that, by virtue of the acts authorising him so to do, he had issued his warrant to the Clerk of the Crown, directing him to make out a new writ for the election of a member to serve in parliament for the Borough of Yarmouth, in the County of Southampton, in the room of J. Murray, Esq. deceased; and also another for the County of Gloucester, in the room of the Marquis of Worcester, called to the House of Peers.—Seven members were introduced and took the usual oaths and their seats; among whom were Mr. Yorke, Mr. Bragge, and Mr. Tyrwhitt Jones.—The Speaker informed the House, that the clerk had, according to custom, prepared a bill for preventing clandestine outlawries. The bill was brought up and read a first and second time.
